Chery V5 Crossover (Chery B14) MPV

The Chery B14 MPV be a nice competitor to the Naza Ria and Toyota Innova if it is priced below RM100,000. It’s also known as the Chery V5 Crossover. The MPV is a 7-seater powered by 2.0 petrol, 2.4 petrol or 1.9 turbodiesel engine options. I’m guessing the petrol engine options are the same as the Chery Tiggo’s and we’ll get the 2.0 litre unit. It was first unveiled as a concept vehicle at the 2004 Beijing Motor Show.

Alado Corp Sdn Bhd plans to assemble the Chery V5 Crossover locally at Oriental Assembler Sdn Bhd’s plant in Johor Baru in October 2006. This 7-seater MPV should be on sale in November 2006 if plans go smoothly.

how come thy get away with copy designs like that everytime china introduces a car??i cant believe it…n imagin the amount of stick and humour one gets wen seen driven in one of thse cars…he wil lose repects in a split second…

Let's face it… it is very unique but what about the maintainace? We all know that Korean cars are dirt cheap but maintainance is f***ing expensive! Chinese-made cars could follow the same as their Korean counterpart.

Dun wanna talk about the look so much coz it's normal la nowadays, copy there a bit copy here a bit. Normail what??… What to complain?… The real issue is the quality. Learning form NAZA Bestari, it's gonna be headache for the rest of the life.

nothing wrong with copying. the germans did it before ww1, the japs did it after ww2, the koreans are just coming out of it. I don't mind copied products at all, as long as it is good value for money. What good is a product of orignal design but gives you lousy value for money? I say bring on the copycats and flood the market with cheap cars! Let the buyers sort them out.

i got no problem with the look, because i concern more wit the quality, but china car has bad reputation on that respect. but good design for cherry (discounted away the copy cat thingy hehehe). should the price is right, i dont mind driving one

At least its better looking than Innova… Innova just look kinda strange for me… even when the bodykit is up… btw, how's the safety for this B14? and the dashboard colour looks funny… but acceptable… maybe for some ppl…

As long as the price are right, safety are taking care off, why not. This is a beautiful car. Why no respect as long as you bought it with your hard earned money. Anyway, after sales service is a concerned.

Guys, for any manufacturer products, either cars, mpvs or suvs, which one would you recommend or would be a better model choice. Petrol 2.0 litre or 1.9 turbodiesel? I need to know before making a buy..

I say it's a good mpv car…by the look of it…this segment of car market in M'sia is not fully tapped and most of Malaysian families would choose a mpv for next new car . If the quality can be level with proton then it is worth to buy .There are peoples like me who are still waiting patiently to make the right move. For an ideal mpv …a Malaysian one . An ideal mpv car in Malaysia market would be :

This car looks really nice, I would buy it if the price is reasonable.This car looks much better than proton cars.

Hey, look closer at the logo. They even copied that from Toyota.

Person who own Chery car must be thick face enough.

Sorry I looked at it really carefully and I cannot spot any resemblance, it gotta be your eyes mate. Chery logo looks nothing like Toyota logo. I think your face must be really thick to make that accusation,

Design passable for under budget car pricing category. The colour combination of the interior obviously odd..anyway, China is notably best COPIER in the world.U should also see its other made Cars,emblems, IT euipment, Electrical appliances & especially Dvds.

waa.. This is a beautiful car.i think this is nice MPV compared with new proton MPV, nissan livina besides the price is affordable as well.I cannot spot any resemblance at this car. the design is stylist.. isn’t it?
i have fren who already own this car, from his experience, he said that the quality aspects of this car is good.

People, why no respect for those own this car, as long as they bought it with their hard earned money. there also nothing wrong with copying. the other car also did same way. as long as the design is stylist is orait :)

i don't think Proton can give u ths kind of MPV in such a low price!! Proton Exora? Just compare the look & the interior….ths Chery Eastar is much more better, & bigger! I even can say tht it is better looking thn the Toyota Innova. Me myself driving a Proton & i am understand tht, Proton is suck!!! & the service is terrible…imagine u gonna wait for 24hrs jus to change the car oil…Proton memang Boleh!!

I saw ths Chery Eastar in The Curve few days ago, thy give me a very good price & i'm going to have a test drive ths afternoon!! If the performance is not bad thn the Proton, i'm very happy to have one!!

Proton, u really need to improve ur product & services to win back ur customer…if not, not only lose to Jap but China as well…& i'm one of them!
